It's funny how many comments relate to "why do you need the LED, we wear goggles". Well I don't wear goggles when I am flying fixed wing, 3D heli, or using it for my twin steer/MOA crawlers and racing Mono hull and Catamarans. Then the argument of whether or not the controller is used at night, most definitely do with my crawlers. Yeah I get it, with the goggles and the bling bling, but there is more to RC than just FPV. With the rub, a few options to correct. First do as others have stated and hone the plastic piece to fit. Another option is to replace thumb sticks with a narrow body and flare out after clearing the recess, and finally, more complex, one could design in CAD and 3D print a new plastic piece out of transparent PETG as a housing for a Neopixl Neon or Ring with some sort of Logic Shifter (convert your 3.3v to 5v for the LED)

Wish I would have seen this before purchasing, kicking myself in the ass later will be fun. I did notice though that essentially the AG01 gimbal has the 2 aluminum pieces built into it. Adding the plastic insert is like adding the aluminum drop piece. adding that with the ag01, is like slamming the living heck outta the gimbal. The best you could do is shave the plastic piece as thin as it can be to hold the ring in place and hope you gain the clearance you need. I'll be trying it... I think... NEVERMIND.. after trying this I realized my stock gimbals with the led ring hit. My stock gimbals with both metal plates hit. The ag01s hit all the same places just worse. With no plates I still had to adjust the stick endpoints to keep it from bottoming out on either the gimbal itself sticks down and out or the case down/up and in.
